Electromoto Adventures
Ninety-one days
Six sections, One battery
On June 24th 2026, Ed Darmanin departed Sydney to complete the first circumnavigation of mainland Australia on an electric motorcycle — approximately 18,000 kilometres, visiting every state and territory, solo and unassisted on an Energica Experia.
Departing Sydney on 24 June 2026, the Big Lap traces an anti-clockwise circuit of mainland Australia — north up the Queensland coast, west across the Gulf Country and the Top End, down through the Kimberley to Broome, south along the WA coast to Perth, and east across the Nullarbor through South Australia, Victoria, and home to Sydney.
The route divides into six sections. Two are ridden two-up with Sally — Ed's wife — through Far North Queensland and the WA coast. One is ridden with Ed's son Evan, from Palm Cove via Cape Tribulation and across the Gulf country to Mount Isa.
The remaining three sections are solo, all on the same Energica Experia electric motorcycle.
